And the Mully Cup for May 2012 goes to Justin Monfries. The circle is complete

Sure, give jest about some online rant or a football player getting a bj from a dog .. but Justin Monfries killed a person and left another with serious injuries. This riduculous “prize” for his recklessness (while memorialising that other dead-beat Mully’s) is nothing short of shameless.

+100

This whole mully prize bullcr@p is. It’s just another example of JB making himself feel better by belittling others.

The Mully Cup could not be more appropriately won. An absolute shitbag of society. Shame the poor innocent women who were his victims. A more appropriate result would have seen Monfries take out his dealer…

Monfries didn’t get the award for what he did. The thread got the award for the most replies…

I think you have have somewhat misunderstood the purpose of this ‘award’. It is not an award for the dimwit persay, but more a measure of Canberra public opinion regarding an event. In this case, the totally tragic outcomes related to our local piss poor revolving-door legal system.
I see this ‘award’ measure as quite useful. For example, if I were a local magistrate (say, the one that repeatedly let him out on bail to steal and run down innocent people), or a local MLA (with an election coming up, hint, hint), it may now actually dawn on me that, wow, the public really seems *pissed* at the current legal system workings. Then, if I were one of those people, I may use this information to try to make a positve change that would actually help my local community – and myself! Think of it as a free ‘focus group’ on public opinion…. Let’s hope those that can have some effect on changing/tweaking the legal system actually read RA!
Hmmm, perhaps the award should have gone to the Justice/magistrate…

Since you obviously know who Justin “the Mully” Williams was, and what he did to gain his notoriety, shouldn’t you be offended at the awards that went to good people, rather then some douchebagel who totally Mully’ed up his life?

I do not think that cup means what you think it means.

Thoroughly agree. I’ve always found this whole concept to be extremely poor in taste. What point does this serve? Memorializing a person who killed and awarding it to other people who kill in similar acts of anti-social behaviour is wrong. This “prize” for the month degrades the RiotAct in my opinion. What’s the goal here? To encourage people to win this? What kind of people are attracted to this? Is this was RA is about?

If a monthly RA award must be given, perhaps a better application would be to award it to those who have served the community and died/suffered at the hands of injustice? Positive, not negative.

Agreed, definitely in poor taste.

In a world with any justice we could trade him for getting Linda Cox back, but sadly that’s not how things work… There are a great many other people who’ve achieved amazing things in the list of winners, but this is your prize.

Damn straight johnboy.
